What our students have to say

To advance my rowing career I had to base myself in Cambridge and I knew of Massey's strength in distance education. I would not hesitate to promote the distance learning programme to anyone that has a significant other commitment that keeps them off campus.

This course also fits into my lifestyle by being fully available online and by doing it via distance, I can make the move to Germany to play, and keep up my studies. By the time my football career is over, I will have my degree.

I chose Massey University to do my studies due to the fact that I could do my course via distance learning, and still work full-time. Juggling mahi and study had its moments but with the support of the tutors and support services, I got through.

I was impressed at different types of interaction available for distance students. Over the range of papers, I participated in online tutorials, active forums, recorded lectures, lots of emails and student study sessions.
